Yamaha VL70-m User Manual

 (VOICE mode only)

• Embouchure Lower Control Depth
• Settings: -127 … +127

Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to embouchure when the
controller is set to it minimum position (e.g. a
modulation wheel rolled all the way down). The
higher the value the greater the variation. Positive
values cause an increase in embouchure in re-
sponse to lower controller values, while minus
values cause a decrease in embouchure in response
to lower controller values. The “EmbLowrDpt”
parameter has no effect when the “Emb Mode”
parameter, below, is set to “Min”.

 (VOICE mode only)

• Embouchure Mode
• Settings: Cntr, Min

Selects the controller value (position) which will
produce “normal” embouchure. When set to “Cntr”
(Center) a central controller position will produce
normal embouchure, allowing both downward and
upward variation. A setting of “Min” (Minimum)
will produce normal embouchure when the control-
ler is set to its minimum position, allowing only
upward variation.

● VL-XG MODE

In the VL-XG sound module mode (page 28)
the “EmbUpprDpt” and EmbLowrDpt”
parameters are replaced by a single
“EmbCtrlDpt” parameter, as follows:

• Embouchure Control Depth
• Settings: -64 … +63

 

Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to embouchure. The
higher the value the greater the variation.
Positive values cause an increase in embou-
chure in response to higher controller values
(e.g. increased breath pressure or higher
modulation wheel position), while minus
values cause an decrease in embouchure in
response to higher controller values.

• Tonguing Control Change Number
• Settings: off … 95, AT, VEL, PB

“Tonguing” simulates the  half-tonguing technique
used by saxophone players by changing the “slit”
of the reed. The slit is the space between the tip of
the reed and the mouthpiece. The “Tng CC No.”
parameter specifies the controller to be used for
tonguing control. When set to “off”  no tonguing is
applied.
•

Please note that accurate keyboard pitch is
produced only when maximum tonguing is
applied or the tonguing controller is turned off.

•

The “TngCtrlDpt” parameter, below, must be
set to an appropriate value (higher than “+01”
or lower than “-01”) for tonguing control to
have any effect.
